Azure Managed Disks

We have been using miscrosoft products from the start so it was quite natural to go with Azure Managed Disks as it would be very easy to integrate with other products that we have in use and obviously the knowledge most of our engineeirs have also played a big part it, so we prefferd Azure Managed Disks.

MS Azure managed disks are easy to manage and implement compared to other cloud storage / disks. It is functional for a lot of apps to create data bases and support new apps without configuring for 3rd party platforms. This is almost impossible with other services that provide cloud storage / virtual disks.

Azure Managed Disks comes with rich security features that includes encryption capabilities. Accessing, managing and transfering data is easy, which was a big advantage for our clients' final decision to choose it compared to other competitors.

Azure has a longer history of capabilities and service. On an institutional basis the product has served our back office at a higher level than we perceived with GA.

Since we are using many Microsoft Products, Azure Managed Disk was a better option. I have used Google Cloud Persistent Disk in a different company and it was equally good.

Azure Managed Disks is the most effective data storage platform that has given us the most reliable services in our company. It enhances data security and data backup plans that contribute to better workflow infrastructure. It gives us hope of our continuity in case of any lost disks since we can back up our data across multiple zones. The cost of maintenance is relatively low as compared to other disk storage providers.

It is a cleaner setup since we are already bought into the Microsoft Infrastructure. Without the ecosystem they have built at Microsoft, we would not have such a seamless experience. While AWS is simpler to use, it is not set in the same model as how the Azure system is built and both tools can't be seen as a one to one comparison

Azure Managed Disks stacked up very well against Amazon Elastic Block Store. In the End it really came down to the fact we are running numerous other Microsoft Azure products and Azure Managed Disks would fit nicely into that ecosystem. We had less ramp up for training and learning issues.
